Sixty-Four Curves of Degree Six
Bernd Sturmfels
MPI Leipzig, Almanya
This lecture is an invitation to real algebraic geometry, along with computational
aspects, ranging from bitangents and K3 surfaces to eigenvectors and ranks of tensors.
We present an experimental study - with many pictures - of smooth curves of degree six
in the real plane. This is joint work with Nidhi Kainhsa, Mario Kummer, Mahsa Sayyari
and Daniel Plaumann. The number 64 refers to the Rokhlin-Nikulin classification of
sextic curves.
